Number one ... After coming home from buying our Christmas tree. Excuse me, coming home from buying Joshua's tree (also my favorite U2 album) Joshua had an accident and was sitting on the potty. I told him he was a big boy who needs to go poo poo in the potty. He replied, "You need to put lights on my tree."
Number Two ... Tonight my dad watched the boys while we went Christmas shopping. At 9:15 my dad told Joshua it was time for bed. He replied, "Papaw, the clock is broken."
Meanwhile, Andrew labeled the parts of his face ... "Eyes, ears, moufth, nose, boogers."
Amidst the loss and pain, we are surrounded by signs of life. We're thankful for the two boys God has given us. Thanks, Karen.

(your) children are, quite simply, brilliant. get that tree decorated???
found a Flannery O'Connor snippet at Dick Staub and it reminded me of your writing:
"All my stories are about the action of grace on a character who is not very willing to support it, but most people think of these stories as hard, hopeless and brutal."
To which I say, let "most people think" what they will and let the grace of God do what the grace of God will do. WM
